Is Being a Bad American Good?

Posted in General at 9:35 am by MamaSaid

Today I’ve decided to add a lighter touch to my traditionally serious blog entries. As regular readers know, I am actively involved in my community and truly enjoy the opportunity to blog about my perspective. My fellow volunteers are aware of this passion and I received a funny, yet accurate, email today that I felt the need to share. This piece was actually written by a famous comic with a unique viewpoint himself. My comments are right after each entry.

YES, I’M A BAD AMERICAN

By: George Carlin

I am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!

Since we have no control at this point over the decisions made with our money in this current dictatorship governed by puppet political parties, I wholeheartedly agree. I

‘m in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

We all have a right to our own feelings and no one should tell us what they should be. I think owning a gun doesn’t make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

We have the right to bear arms and I support that right. Without it, we are even bigger victims that we are already.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

Let’s think unity, not division.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.

English does happen to be the native language of this country, despite the fact that Bush wants to give away OUR money to ILLEGAL (key term here) aliens. Earn your right to be here like the rest of us had to – remember Ellis Island?

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

Isn’t that the premise this country was founded on? If you don’t like it, don’t listen!

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer.

Jerry Springer was a complete exploitation and evidence that Hollywood government officials are inadequate, i.e. Ronald Reagan. I still can’t believe The Terminator is in political power…

I don’t hate the rich. I don’t pity the poor.

If you’ve got it, it’s yours. If you don’t have it, reach out and get yours.

I know wrestling is fake and I don’t waste my time watching or arguing about it.

Imagine if all the energy spent on wrestling debates was directed at Bush and other questionable government leaders – we might actually be making progress.

I’ve never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven’t burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.

Let’s end these historical references, encourage unity and band together against the few that attempt to run our lives rather than fight amongst ourselves. I

I believe if you don’t like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA.

Unbelievable that ILLEGAL aliens who broke the law and never made the legal attempt to become citizens are complaining about money, medical care and equal rights. Feel free to return to where you came from – no problem with us.

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?

Although Jesse Jackson has done some great stuff, there are other times I have also questioned this man’s intentions…

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you’re running from them.. I also think they have the right to pull you over if you’re breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

If you’re running from the cops, you must have something to hide. Further, I don’t give a darn who you are, how rich you are or what your nationality is…the cops have the right to pull you over and should be encouraged to do their jobs under all circumstances.

And, no, I don’t mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it’s good….. And I’m proud that “God” is written on my money.

In today’s society where identity fraud is an alarming everyday occurrence, a photo is necessary on your driver’s license.  I am also proud that “God” is written on my money and those who are ignorant enough to deny a higher power should deal with electronic transactions that are as impersonal as they are. This country was founded on religious freedom – and not just for atheists. When they take God away, they rob us of our freedom.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don’t want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

Imagine having to educate someone on a process as simple as casting a ballot – it’s a sad commentary on the intelligence and awareness level of people in our country. If they can’t work the machine, how do they know about the election?

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making “donations” to their cause.

There are better ways to raise awareness and money than soliciting in the street, illegally in an intersection. With all the resources available for communication today, this is harassment rather than help.  

I believe that it doesn’t take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

Both parents need to take responsibility for their children and stop pawning it off on the rest of the world. If you have children, you need to raise them because it’s your job and you chose it.

And what is going on with gas prices… Again?

We all know that the Bush and the good ol’ boys network are making major bucks off conning the world – as if we still believe them.

I believe “illegal” is illegal no matter what the lawyers think. 

Since when was there a loophole around ILLEGAL – it’s out of hand!

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA!

Why would we fly any other flag in America? Once again, if you want your country’s flag, go back to where they fly it.

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I’m a BAD American. If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know. We want our country back! We NEED GOD BACK IN OUR COUNTRY!

Yes, I am a bad American and I want God back in our country and our country given back to the hard working people who earned it. Let’s hear it for Bad Americans – thanks George and thanks Teresa!

    Well, unless George Carlin has found God recently, then this did not come from George Carlin. He has expressed very clearly on stage and TV that he is an atheist.
